My spouse and I are married but separated. MFJ (so far).
I bought (7-1-25) and sold (10-24-25) a home in another state. My spouse was not involved in this house in any way. I lived there during that time, but shared a home with my spouse the rest of the year. Gain from sale is under $4000.
If I exclude this sale due to either Look Back or separation, and we sell our jointly owned home before 10-24-26, will we lose the exclusion on sale of a primary home? Or would the second sale still be eligible due either the separation or single vs joint ownership.
